Chuanchuan Xiang In Firenze

My dear friend Lorenzo took me this Friday for our food gathering. What better way to chat while eating? This restaurant, where the tables are made specifically to hold the Hot Pot used for the broth, is truly a perfect example, where you share not only the conversation but also the food. There are five types of broth, including a spicy version, but be careful, because if the chili pepper is already strong, the heat of the broth increases the burning sensation. We ordered the pot with two broths, one vegetable (which perhaps had a little pepper, but it's not annoying, although at times you might feel a hint of spiciness while drinking the broth) and one with mushrooms. I preferred the latter because it was really delicate, yet flavorful. I have a 5-year-old child, so I didn't feel like bringing him because it could be dangerous. But cooking your own choice of ingredients in the broth is really fun, and it's a healthy touch in the cold. Eating hot food right there is a truly interesting experience, in fact, being careful not to burn yourself. We chose thinly sliced ​​meat, quail eggs, beef meatballs (there are various options), mushrooms, cabbage, dried and fresh noodles (we chose two different versions to taste the difference; I preferred the fresh ones). Another fun thing to do is make your own sauce to season the food you cook and then serve. They give you a variety of ingredients on a separate table. You just put the ones you like in a bowl and mix everything together. My sauce was made up of sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, sesame seeds, peanuts, and fresh spring onion. For me, it was a truly perfect combination. Unfortunately, we learned at the end of dinner that the menu also includes mixed skewers to cook in the broth. We'll definitely have to go back. Fair price: €30.

We didn’t take the all you can eat hot pot, but we ate some really good dishes (Chinese cabbage, beef with mushrooms and the best mapo tofu I ever ate in Italy) and one mediocre dish (chicken sweet sour).. we parked by the garage across the street and we wanted for some quick lunch

There weren't many broths to choose from, and the spicy things were very, very spicy (broth and some sauces). The "all you can eat" price only includes the hotpot and not the appetizers or other foods.

Consistently one of the best Chinese hot pot restaurants in Florence. Good selection of food and extremely helpful staff.

The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. I highly recommend their hot pot. The owner is also very nice. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Florence.

A fantastic restaurant, the food was amazing, and they even had an all-you-can-eat option. The owner was incredibly kind; after we finished eating, he even let us sit there for two hours while we waited for our bus.

The rice cakes are delicious. It feels like elementary school.

Wow, how good ❤️🫠 broth to drink in one gulp! I suggest adding more vegetarian options.

Authentic hot pot! I went with a Chinese friend, and it's truly traditional. Lots of broths and ingredients to choose from, fun and convenient. Be careful if you're not used to spicy food!

Came here to order dishes for dinner, did not try the hot pot! While the price is very reasonable, I think there are better options for Chinese/Sichuanese. The stir fries are all a bit too oily and heavily salted, and we really wished the fish fragrant eggplant could have been better. The wontons in the wonton soup hardly had filling, and the broth also lacked that clean, simple taste you want from wonton soup. We also visited 一餐厅佛罗伦萨One Restaurant while in Florence and found it much better in quality, taste, authenticity.
